Post a Comment! Write a Review!
I am not a wine expert. This blog is not a forum for me to tell you what’s good and what’s bad. It is intended to be an exchange of opinions about wines available from ANBL. To work, this blog needs contributions from readers. Wine enjoyment is about mood, style and personal preference as much as about the wine, and a post is just intended to get the conversation started – the comments are as important as the posts themselves. So if you try a wine that has been reviewed, please post a comment and let us know what you thought, even briefly. If you try a wine that hasn’t been reviewed, why not send one in? E-mail your review to me at nbwines / at / gmail / dot / com. No wine words necessary. If you'd prefer to remain anonymous, post your review in the "Make a Suggestion" thread and I will cut and paste in into its own post.

I really liked the 2007. How does the 2008 compare?
ReplyDeleteWhoops - that review got posted by accident. Kelly had promised to finish writing it up and gave herself a week - and then it posted automatically. We didn't try the '07, but Wine Spectator called the '08 vintage "a trimmer, leaner version of 2007."
ReplyDeleteI think there is going to be some St Urbans at the wine show in Moncton this year.
ReplyDeleteGreat Riesling house!
saw that they had the Okfener Bockstein in at the Dieppe liquor store. I noticed that the price had doubled since last year, so I wanted to see what they'd brought in. The didn't have it on sale, but had a case in the back held back for restaurants and what not. They were kind enough to dig me out a bottle. Turns out it's a Spatlese, rather than the Kabinett they had last year. The Kabinett was probaby my favorite wine at the show last year, with the 2007 Riesling close behind. Looking forward to trying them out next week.
ReplyDeleteTried the '08 at the wine festival. Still a really great wine. Nice acidity. Not quite as good at the '07 but still very nice.
